Too many Christians go through the motions of everyday living without fully considering God's call for their life. In, "Buy the Field," readers' sights will be lifted and challenged to have Paul's rallying words be our heart's cry, "I press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:14) In addition to raising awareness of our God-ordained field, Pastor Rob Fleshman also equips the reader with practical, proven Biblical principles to launch out in faith and buy the field! What a tremendous resource this book is. I am constantly on the lookout for good books for thoughtful students about the issues of Christian living, and "Buy The Field" is one I can whole-heartedly recommend.

When Hannah has to leave her pampered life at the court of Babylon to go to the wilderness of Judah, she is frightened at the prospect. Her father Jorah, a judge under the Persian King Cyrus, is a leader of the Jews who want to return to Jerusalem to rebuild their Temple, In accord with a prophecy given by the prophet Isaiah, the Persian King Cyrus releases the Jews and gives them funds for their journey. To Jorah, their mission is a holy quest directed by their God, but Hannah's favorite brother Behai rebels and stays behind. He doesn't believe in the dream of his father, and wants to marry Hannah's best friend and make his own way among the power brokers of the Persian Empire. Although Behai loves his family and tries to help them at first, political pressure against the Jerusalem party forces him to abandon them to their own resources. Only when a plot to rob Jerusalem of military defenses threatens the lives of his family does Behai find the courage to outwit the plotters and prevent a Samaritan attack. Even after this, however, he rejects his father's pleas and turns his back on his family again. Many years later a deadly threat against his brother Eliakim's life brings Behai back into the family fold. The two work together to expose a vicious plot to attack the Jewish colony in Jerusalem and halt the restoration of the Temple. In Jerusalem, Hannah, her family and the other returned exiles struggle against famine and the hostility of the nations already occupying Judah. They make an early effort to lay the foundations of the Temple, but their bright hopes to rebuild the walls are thwarted and delayed for many years. Upon their arrival in Jerusalem, the Zadokite priests returning from exile are surprised to find sacrifices and worship being performed at the ruined Temple site. Levitical priests who stayed even after the final destruction of Jerusalem have been trying to preserve the rituals throughout the long seventy years of the exile. They are met with suspicion and rejection by the haughty Zadokites, who soon take these offices back into their own hands. This lays the foundation for a conflict between the two priestly factions that persists for the next hundred years and further impedes the restoration of a strong Jewish nation. One of these young Levitical priests, Gera, becomes Hannah's friend. As they can, her family supports his struggle to find a place in the restored nation in spite of persecution by the Zadokites. Gera also makes friends with a young priest of noble blood named Jezaiah. Jezaiah has returned with the exiles, and knows Hannah's family. At a chance meeting, Jezaiah and Hannah fall in love, and soon they marry. Gera marries a local girl, and the friendship begun between the two couples persists throughout the next several generations. Hannah's father Jorah and her brother Eliakim work with the secular governments of Prince Sheshbazzar and then of Prince Zerubbabel. They are not cut off from the central government in Babylon, but they are opposed in the court by strong factions which support neighboring provinces. They are also harassed by their neighbors and by desert raiders from the south, and most of all by the regional governor who lives in Samaria. Much of their lives are spent riding from one capital to another trying to build a diplomatic basis for the growth of the restored province of Judah. Padon, another of Hannah's brothers, is a captain at the military garrison. Padon, like his father and older brother, finds no conflict between his desire to restore Judah as a Jewish nation and his loyalty to the Persian King. They realize that Israel cannot survive without the support given them by the Persian King. There are others in the community, however, who see treachery and faithlessness in the collaboration between the pr

Hotel Life by Caroline Field Levander,Matthew Pratt Guterl Pdf
What is a hotel? As Caroline Field Levander and Matthew Pratt Guterl show us in this thought-provoking book, even though hotels are everywhere around us, we rarely consider their essential role in our modern existence and how they help frame our sense of who and what we are. They are, in fact, as centrally important as other powerful places like prisons, hospitals, or universities. More than simply structures made of steel, concrete, and glass, hotels are social and political institutions that we invest with overlapping and contradictory meaning. These alluring places uniquely capture the realities of our world, where the lines between public and private, labor and leisure, fortune and failure, desire and despair are regularly blurred. Guiding readers through the story of hotels as places of troublesome possibility, as mazelike physical buildings, as inspirational touchstones for art and literature, and as unsettling, even disturbing, backdrops for the drama of everyday life, Levander and Guterl ensure that we will never think about this seemingly ordinary place in the same way again.

Award-winning and beloved author Helen Humphreys discovers her local herbarium and realizes we need to look for beauty in whatever nature we have left — no matter how diminished Award-winning poet and novelist Helen Humphreys returns to her series of nature meditations in this gorgeously written and illustrated book that takes a deep look at the forgotten world of herbariums and the people who amassed collections of plant specimens in the 19th and 20th centuries. From Emily Dickinson’s and Henry David Thoreau’s collections to the amateur naturalists whose names are forgotten but whose collections still grace our world, herbariums are the records of the often-humble plants that are still with us and those that are lost. Over the course of a year, Humphreys considers life and loss and the importance of finding solace in nature. Illustrated throughout with images of herbarium specimens, Humphreys’s own botanical drawings, and archival photographs, this will be the perfect gift for Humphreys’s many fans, nature enthusiasts, and for all who loved Birds Art Life.
